Justin's Parents…
… currently live in El Paso, Texas alongside his extended family, making our visits particularly fun! With his father hailing from the Philippines and his mother's Mexican-American roots, Justin is proud to be a part of a large and inseparable clan (who have all embraced Eric with open arms!) They value the importance of togetherness, diversity, humor, and authentic family dinners!
Eric's Family…
… is just as tight-knit and lives very close to one another in Springfield, Illinois. His folks are already wonderful and caring grandparents to his brother's three kids, and are ready to add more to the lineup! Visits to Illinois will always include pumpkin patches, arts and crafts with Grandma, and visits to Grandpa's bike shop!
Our Niece and Nephews…
These three make us the proudest uncles! We bring joy, silliness and mustaches when we visit, and they bring out the kids inside of us. Sometimes we actually wear THEM out playing backyard baseball, making treasure hunts, dancing to hip-hop, putting on shows and playing countless games of ball tag (their favorite!) They will be incredible role models to our kids and they already can't wait to share what they've learned with their new cousins.
Friends (and photos) with Kids…
Pictured here is the community of inspiring and like-minded friends and their kids we surround ourselves with. They are best friends from school, co-workers who've become family, and people who we confide in. Together we celebrate holidays, make music, and watch their children grow before our eyes. These generous folks have also offered so much help in advance, from babysitting to newborn items. We're already in line to inherit cribs and strollers, clothing, books and toys! We are overwhelmed by their love and support.
